This effort will reinforce the resilience of the U.S. defence industrial base by improving availability while reducing costs of critical materials. It positions both companies as key contributors to ensuring that affordability and supply chain security support America’s long-term defence advantage.
“Our collaboration with Solugen enhances the scalability and speed at which we can deliver advanced energetics, while driving down cost. It’s a strategic step that strengthens the U.S. defense industrial base and ensures critical technologies reach the Warfighter faster,” said Gary Goodwin, CEO, American Rheinmetall Munitions.
“Solugen is committed to helping the defense community secure resilient, U.S.-based supply chains while bending the cost curve for next-gen energetics,” said Sean Hunt, PhD, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Solugen. “By collaborating with American Rheinmetall Munitions —and with other leaders across the sector—we’re building pathways that make advanced energetics more affordable and more accessible for America’s defense.”
The partnership reflects American Rheinmetall Munitions’ role as an early adopter of emerging solutions and Solugen’s focus on strengthening the broader defence ecosystem. It supports efforts across the industry to create more sustainable, secure, and cost-effective energetic material supply chains.
